When Brooke said this, everyone was shocked.

“You… you can understand the words on it?” Robin asked in shock, with a huge wave of emotion in his heart.

Although she can translate Chinese characters, it is only after years of study and accumulation, and her level is still half-baked. Many times, she needs to use reference books and context to barely understand the meaning of Chinese characters.

But the Brooke in front of him, a person who lived more than 100 years ago, a ghost, actually said that he could understand the words in this ancient book which was obviously of extraordinary origin?

Isn’t this too outrageous?!

Zoro even drew his sword and pointed it at Brook:

“You better tell me the truth, you skeleton, are you kidding us? Otherwise, my knife won’t have eyes!”

Sanji stared at Brook with an unhappy look on his face and said,”Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to steal our treasure”057″?”

“No, no, no! How dare I?”

Brooke quickly waved his hand to deny it, and then explained:”I can indeed read the words on it, and I know the owner of this book.”

“Do you know the owner of this book?!” Everyone exclaimed again, isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

Brook nodded and said,”More than 100 years ago, I followed my captain, York, the captain of the Rumba Pirates, to a place called Shadow Island. There, I met the owner of this book. He is a very powerful and mysterious being. He taught me a lot of things, including this kind of writing.”

“He calls himself Wu Ming, a traveler from another world. He says this world is full of miracles and dangers. He hopes that we can find our own miracles and overcome all dangers.”

When everyone heard this, they believed what Brook said. After all, there was no need for Brook to lie at this time.

Moreover, the man named Wu Ming that Brooke mentioned was very similar to the description they saw in other notebooks.

Robin asked curiously,”What did he ask you to do?”

“He hopes that we can find the Shadow Island, and then find the nine Shadow Masks, and use these masks to protect the world.”

At this point, Brook added:”He also said that a huge crisis will befall the world in the future, and only we can stop this crisis.”

“A huge crisis?”

Nami and the others were all confused. They didn’t know what the crisis that Brook was talking about was.

“Your great grandfather also said that the man named Wu Ming would destroy the world!”Luffy interrupted

“Destroy the world?”

Brooke shook his head and said,”No, Wu Ming is not a bad person.……”

Brooke didn’t finish his words. He didn’t know how to describe Wu Ming. After all, the impression Wu Ming gave him was too complicated. He was powerful, mysterious, and wise, but also dangerous, crazy, and even… a little scary!

Brooke only knew that Wu Ming was definitely not a person who could be defined as good or bad. He was like a mystery that was hard to figure out.

“Okay, let’s solve the current dilemma first.”

Robin interrupted Brook’s recollection and said,”Brook, can you read the contents of this book? Maybe there is a way to break the seal in it.”

Brooke nodded, then opened the book and began to read.

As Brooke read aloud, everyone gradually understood the content of the book.

This book is called”Shadow Ritual”, which records a lot of knowledge about shadows and souls, as well as many ancient rituals and spells.

Brook read very slowly and carefully. He translated every word very accurately, as if he had poured all his accumulation of more than 100 years into this moment.

Everyone listened very carefully. It seemed as if they had opened a new door and saw a whole new world.

Shadows, souls, rituals, spells, these things that originally only existed in myths and legends, at this moment, have become so real and so within reach.

Everyone present, except Luffy, was full of curiosity and awe about these things.

As for Luffy, he was yawning out of boredom.

Brooke read for two hours and finally finished the whole book.

“call……”

Brooke let out a long sigh and said,”The knowledge recorded in this book is too profound. I still don’t fully understand many things.”

Hearing this, everyone came back to their senses from that wonderful world.

“So… is there a way to open that door?” Nami asked…….

“have”

Brook nodded affirmatively, then pointed to the last page of the book and said,”It records a ceremony called soul sacrifice. As long as we sacrifice a soul, we can open this door.”

“Sacrifice of soul?”

Nami and the others’ faces changed drastically. They didn’t expect that they would have to use this method to open the prison gate.

“Wait! Soul sacrifice? Isn’t that too cruel?”Nami objected

Zoro didn’t care, instead he said excitedly:”Sacrifice, as long as I can save Lu Fei, I am willing to sacrifice my soul!”

“Zoro! What are you talking about?”

Nami looked at Zoro with dissatisfaction.

Brooke quickly explained:”Don’t worry, the souls being sacrificed are not the souls of living people, but a special kind of soul called the dead.”

“Undead? What are those?”

Brooke explained:”The dead are souls that wander the world without a home. They have no body or consciousness, but are just pure energy.”

“The soul sacrifice ritual uses the energy of the dead to open the door to the soul prison.”

After Brooke finished speaking, he pointed to a passage in the book and said,”It says that there are many undead spirits nearby. As long as we find them, we can perform the ritual.”

“So what are we waiting for in 4.3? Let’s go find the undead!”

Usopp couldn’t wait to say

Brooke said:”Follow me, I will take you to find the dead”

……

Under Brook’s leadership, everyone left the Soul Prison and began to search for the dead in the abyss of freedom.

The abyss of freedom is a very special world, where there is no time, no space, no direction, only countless souls drifting in it.

The Straw Hat Pirates followed Brook and traveled through the abyss of freedom. They saw all kinds of souls and all kinds of scenes.

They saw happy souls dancing and sad souls crying; they saw a world full of hope and a world full of despair.

The abyss of freedom is like a huge kaleidoscope, full of infinite possibilities
